By Associated Press | April 21, 2008
HONOLULU — A platoon sergeant accused of shooting an unarmed Iraqi and then ordering another American soldier to "finish him" faces a court martial this week for premeditated murder.
Sergeant 1st Class Trey Corrales, of San Antonio, faces a minimum of life with parole if convicted.
The Iraqi man was shot multiple times in the head and chest near the town of Kirkuk when Sergeant Corrales's platoon raided a suspected insurgent hideout on June 23. The U.S. military hasn't been able to identify the man by name.
